Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 213 - 213 210 Good Person (Three More)

Chapter 213: Chapter 210: Good Person (Three More) Chapter 213: Chapter 210: Good Person (Three More) As a university teacher, Yu Heng’s life had always been very regular.

Before dating Luo Xiao, he would basically go home to have dinner with Mu Chenyan, then ride his bicycle back to the school to mark assignments and prepare lessons, and return home before ten in the evening to wash up and go to sleep.

After he started dating Luo Xiao, he would have dinner with her at the school after his afternoon classes, and then the two of them would go back to the office to mark assignments and prepare lessons together.

He left the school at nine in the evening, first dropping off Luo Xiao, before heading home himself.

Luo Xiao lived in the Beijing University faculty residences, which were within the school and very safe.

That evening, after dropping off Luo Xiao, Yu Heng rode his bicycle leisurely back to Qinghe Garden.

On his way through the crossroads, the red light turned green, and as he reached the middle of the road, suddenly a motorcycle roared towards him from the opposite direction, while at the same time, the sound of another motorcycle rose from behind.

Was this a pincer attack?

Yu Heng hurriedly made a right turn into a side alley, but as soon as he did, his heart sunk—damn, he had fallen into a trap!

The alley was narrow, flanked on both sides by old shops from the past in Beijing, but at this point past nine o’clock, they were all closed for business. Aside from the street lights on the roadside, the entire street was shrouded in darkness, not a gleam of light to be seen.

That wasn’t the main problem. The real issue was that taking a turn at the end of the alley would lead to a dead end. He wasn’t afraid of a fight, but if these people banded together and tried to ram him with their motorcycles…

As he thought it, without traveling much farther, two more motorcycles joined from behind.

Yu Heng sped up, pedaling deeper into the street. It wasn’t too long, but it seemed that the purpose of these people was to herd him towards the dead end, which was why they were following at a leisurely pace.

He made a right turn into the dead end, but when the motorcyclists arrived, they were taken aback—where was he?

The empty entrance of the alley lay ahead, a lone bicycle lying on the ground, but its rider had vanished without a trace.

The glaring lights of the motorcycles illuminated the entire alley, revealing not a single living creature.

The men looked at each other, and one of them asked, “What do we do now?”

“Go down and look for him. We clearly saw him enter here, how could he just disappear? He must be inside, everyone be careful.”

Each motorcycle carried two people, with the drivers staying on the bikes and the passengers getting off to search.

Emboldened by their numbers and motorcycles, four individuals swaggered inside. Little did they know that within two steps, one of them suddenly felt his shoulder weigh down. Before they could see what was happening, his body was hurled against the wall with a loud bang, and then with a smack, he fell to the ground.

“Be careful!”

The person initially riding the motorcycle barely shouted a warning as Yu Heng lifted his leg and quickly delivered a combination of kicks, knocking down the three men.

“Boom! Boom! Boom…”

The roaring of motorcycle engines started, but as Yu Heng bent down to pull one man in front as a human shield, he looked at the rider with a cold smile, “Go on, hit me, come on!”

The rider, teeth itching with rage, revved his engine loudly for a while but didn’t dare actually drive forward. Not only because of his comrade in Yu Heng’s hands, but also because of the two others lying on the ground that would obstruct the motorcycle’s charge…

The next morning, as shop owners in the old commercial street arrived to open their businesses, one proprietor got the fright of their life upon reaching their shop front. Tied to the lamppost out front was a person, a white paper with a large “Thief” written in red pinned to their chest!

Looking further in, it was quite the sight—all eight lampposts each had one person tied to them, each with a paper marked “Thief” on their chest. Apart from that, the thief in the middle had an extra paper on his back with more words—

The thieves have been caught, no thanks needed!

This implied that this gang of eight had come here the previous night to steal, but someone passing by had seen them, beat them up, and then tied them to the lampposts?

Ah, such a good Samaritan! In this day and age, it’s rare to see such a powerful do-gooder.

Right, thief, those who come to steal.

The shopkeeper quickly headed into their shop, which had been pried open, and after a quick inspection, burst out laughing with relief—fortunately, nothing was stolen, and everything was neat and untouched.

Ah, that good Samaritan arrived just in time.

After absorbing this shock, the shopkeeper both reported to the police and informed other shop owners. Then they didn’t forget to step out to the front where the thieves, tied up and motionless—either knocked out or frozen by the good Samaritan—were presented a couple of good kicks to release some pent-up frustration.

That’s what you get for being a thief!

Only then did the shopkeeper notice the street scattered with various motorcycle parts…

….

On the evening of December 7th, at 7 p.m., the scheduled therapy session was moved up a day.

Since the last deep hypnosis, Song Jiawen had gradually recalled many things throughout the week, yet they were all like a revolving lantern, very chaotic, and failed to connect together. That’s why she wanted to be hypnotized as soon as possible, to see if she could fully remember some things.

As for fear…

She would be scared either way, even if she couldn’t remember, her nightmares would still keep her awake at night. She might as well go all out and take a risk, perhaps even assist the police in solving the case more quickly. That way, she could also appease her aunt’s spirit in heaven.

Just like last time, Jiang Yan followed Song Jiawen into the small bedroom inside.

Ouyang Nan glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

The hypnosis began–

…

“Boss, brought a fine piece here, look how delicate this girl is.”

“Where’s she from?”

“Heh, you might not believe it if I told you. Her sister dumped her right onto our turf from a courtyard house.”

“Her sister? How old?”

“Not old, looks to be only eight or nine, probably a fight for favor, huh?”

“Never mind the reason. Just looking at the material of this girl’s pajamas, you can tell her family must be quite well-off; her background shouldn’t be simple.”

“So what do you think… return her?”

“… Not returning her. It’s been years since we’ve come across such high-quality merchandise. She’ll be of great use once she grows up. Call Dalong over, get her out of the city quick.”

….

“Ye Ge told you guys to keep a close eye on this girl…”

“Brother Long, let’s go to Yunzhou. My mom’s at home alone. Safe.”

“Take this woman with us. See if we can deal with her in Yunzhou?”

“My daughter, give me back my daughter….”

“Smack!”

“Shut your mouth or I’ll kill your older daughter too.”

…

“This girl has a fever. What do we do?”

“Such a nuisance. Hand her over to that woman; let her take care of her.”

…

“Told you to run, I’ll chop you!”

…

After an agonizing two and a half hours, Song Jiawen woke up from the hypnosis drenched in sweat, shivering in Jiang Yan’s arms.

This time, she quickly calmed down, her face pale as she asked Ouyang Nan for a pencil and paper.

She had almost completely remembered the faces of those people.

Yu Heng also came along this time, and while Xiaosi was sketching the portraits, he made a call to Deputy Chief Lin.

After the portraits were finished, Song Jiawen specifically pointed at one of them and said, “At the time, I heard others calling him boss, and some referred to him as Ye Ge. Ye should be his surname, right?”

Upon hearing the surname “Ye,” Jiang Yan, Yu Heng and the others immediately thought of Ye Junqi!
